Make a Wish Come True!

Craft Land and Brother joined together to make the wish of 14-year old Emirati Fatima Qambar come true. Fatima suffers from a rare disease, but doesn't let that get in the way of her dream - to make beautiful embroideries. But she missed something...a machine to make them on!

Make a Wish UAE contacted us to see if we could help. Brother kindly donated a wondering sewing and embroidery machine and craft land donated threads, stabiliser and lessons to get Fatima on her way to making the embroideries she dreams of.

Fatima - we wish you all the best - and we look forward to seeing your creations!

And the winner is...!
